It seems that Amsterdam has become “our place”. There, L and I just forget about everything and everyone and let the charms of the city surround us. It’s a place that offers much of everything. It has many museums, lots of art, many places to discover, lots of fun, from the simplest to the craziest.

This time we stayed in a beautiful flat in Joordan, very close to The Toren (where we stayed last time) and the Anne Frank House. Close to everything and quiet at the same time. The Barcelona Chair cherished my laziness. The terrace, our breakfasts and moments of relaxation.

We wandered here and there, went to Siberië, the Amsterdam Museum, stopped at some nice restaurants and went shopping. I won a divine sandal and was astonished that L had chosen it even though it’s not very tall.

But the highlight of this time was the beach. Not one of the urban beaches that the city offers, but in a close location, Ijmuiden ann Zee. A beautiful day, very warm, perfect for the beach. A huge beach, with a large strip of sand and a calm sea, cold but perfect waters. We walked to a point with fewer people and enjoyed our time. Later a stop at a bar, something to drink, we changed clothes and returned to Amsterdam.

We left the city with the desire of ” we want more”. And more will come. Whether in Amsterdam or elsewhere.
